{"product_id":"what-my-mother-and-i-dont-talk-about","title":"What My Mother and I Don't Talk About","description":"\u003cbr\u003e     In the early 2000's, as an undergraduate, Michele Filgate started writing an essay about being abused by her stepfather. It took many years for her to realize what she was actually trying to write about: the fracture this caused in her relationship with her mother. When her essay, “What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About,” was published by Longreads in October of 2017, it went on to become one of the most popular Longreads exclusives of the year and was shared on social media by Anne Lamott, Rebecca Solnit, Lidia Yuknavitch, and other writers, some of whom had their own individual codes of silence to be broken.\u003cbr\u003e     The outpouring of responses gave Filgate an idea and the resulting anthology offers an intimate, therapeutic and universally resonant look at our relationships with our mothers. As Filgate poignantly writes, “Our mothers are our first homes and that’s why we’re always trying to return to them.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributions by Cathi Hanauer, Melissa Febos, Alexander Chee, Dylan Landis, Bernice L.
